Pathankot: Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday expressed confidence of winning the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha by-election by a big margin, saying his government has brought the state's economy back on track.
During a road show in Pathankot for the upcoming Gurdaspur bypoll on October 11, he said, "We will win this seat with a margin of over two lakh votes".
The Punjab chief minister was accompanied by party's candidate for the bypoll, Sunil Jakhar, All India Congress Committee general secretaries Asha Kumari and Harish Chaudhry, and Rajya Sabha member Pratap Singh Bajwa, among others.
He claimed that his government had not only implemented many of its poll promises but had also set the ball rolling by bringing the beleaguered state economy back on track.
"Be it enhancement of pensions under social welfare schemes or our promise of providing jobs, every election promise that we made is in the process of implementation," he said.
